Disappointing and Not Worth the Purchase
I downloaded this app hoping it would help me prepare for my motorcycle theory test, but unfortunately, it fell short in many ways. The number of motorcycle-specific questions was extremely limited, and it didn't even cover the basic requirements needed for motorcycles. Most of the questions seemed to be taken straight from the car theory test, which wasn’t relevant to what I needed.
The question database was very small, and the same questions were repeated over and over during both practice sessions and mock tests. There was no real variety or depth, which left me feeling unprepared. I barely passed my exam using my common sense rather than the app's content, and I really regret purchasing the in-app upgrade—it’s absolutely not worth the money.
If you're looking for comprehensive motorcycle theory test prep, I would recommend looking elsewhere. This app simply doesn't provide the level of content or detail necessary to properly prepare for the exam.

Either App timing errors or Hazard Awareness errors?
2 examples on the hazard awareness where the hazard is visible (or at least as visible at the point where maximum points start) yet zero points awarded:
1: 2 women visible waking on a side street, zero points when they are first visible (yet in the road and not looking), but a few frames later (no change in salient information, and full marks
2: approaching lorry in outer lane of the opposite side of the dual carriageway (approaching a gap), clearly angled towards the gap and zero points… a few frames later (still time for them to stop before entering your carriageway) and you get maximum points….
So frustrating, without tapping lots (for no real change in the hazard just to game the timing of where the marks become available )…. Which if this is just the app problem, could lead to over clicking habits in the actual test.
Also the video quality is poor in some cases, or at least on a phone screen.

Paid for Platinum but everything locked again in under 12 hours!
Having tried the free version, I decided to subscribe to the Platinum version and paid my £5.99 .. by the following morning when I opened up the app on my phone all the content I had paid for was locked again and I could only access the limited free content. I clicked on the “Upgrade to Full Version” again to see what happened .. and it told me I was already subscribed!! So the App knows I’ve paid but yet won’t let me access the content!? I have emailed their support & reported the issue to Apple but may have to wait up to 48 hours for a response. Disappointing. *** Update … I managed to restore the purchase and get access back to the content I paid for, but now even though it says my progress is being synced with all iCloud enabled devices it keeps resetting my progress back to 0% (iCloud syncing is enabled on both devices) so I have no idea which questions I’ve covered, what I still need to do, what I got wrong etc .. so there are a few issues within the app. It’s quite frustrating! Have emailed their support again and reported the issue to Apple 🤷🏻♀️
Can only give it 1 Star at present due to the issues I’ve experienced in less than 24hours of purchase

Good app but don’t rely on it completely
The app is pretty good, the multiple-choice questions change depending on how good or bad you do at certain topics.
The videos are NOT the videos you will see in the test, not even similar. I didn’t find a single one on the actual test and I went through every video they have on the app.
The questions will not be the same either, but at least they will be very very close. I was able to cast the videos to my TV and use my phone as a mouse and I found that very effective.

Try elsewhere!
I invested in the full version 4 in 1 version of this app but although the question and answer section of this app is fine the video section is a real disappointment. The additional videos that you pay extra for are completely outdated and are not CGI videos. They are of a very poor quality and are no good for practicing for the actual CGI hazard perception test and could actually cause you to fail it. Furthermore, some of the questions have bugs i.e., when it asked you to click on an answer with a picture, that picture does not show, so it’s impossible to answer the question. I have now purchased an online version with hundreds of CGI videos to practice with.

Great app. Could be better but definitely helped me pass the test
Had this app for a few months and paid for the premium hazard perception etc. It really did help me to pass my motorcycle theory test and a great way to learn. I’ve been driving for 30 years so had a good head start, but I really benefited from learning through the mock test.
The only thing I didn’t like so much was often getting the same questions over and over again, and then when it came to the actual test I was getting many questions I hadn’t seen before. I think the app developers have done a great job but it would be cool to have it so there were more of a breadth of questions (unless I’ve missed a setting in the app of course!)
Also liked the way you can practice on specific headings like alertness etc.
All in all a great app and would totally recommend it - I ended up getting 49/50 on the test and several questions I had correct as a direct result from using the app 👍

Hello. We have checked the app and everything seems fine, which suggests this could be an issue with the settings you're using. For help you can contact our UK-based support team at support@deepriverdev.co.uk.
Mock test absolutely brilliant, HP doesn’t work at all and tried emailing last week, no reply
I’ve purchased the best one you can get and the mock test and practice stuff is absolutely brilliant! Can’t fault that at all.
But
The hazard perception doesn’t work at all, considering I paid for the best one I’m very disappointed and anxious because I’ve got my test tomorrow and haven’t really had the chance to practise the HP because this isn’t working…
I emailed them straight away but haven’t had a response back. It’s such a shame because the theory side is fantastic, just feel a bit let down.
I’ve got the recent iPhone and everything is up to date on it so I doubt it’s my end

Don’t worry, you’ll never be charged for something you can't use. Please note, you must remain connected to WIFI and not leave the app to download the videos. If you’re still having problems, please contact our UK-based support team at support@deepriverdev.co.uk. We’ll do everything we can to help you solve the problem or arrange a full refund.
Pass first time.
I purchased the full App two weeks before my theory test. Very reasonable price, compared to other DVSA approved revision products, on the market.
I used the coach mode more than anything else and also picked 14 hazard perception videos at random, every day, to simulate a test. After just one week, spending around an hour a day, I was passing the mock theory test, every time and passing my simulated hazard perception training.
I took my real test today at a DVSA centre and passed first time.
I definitely wouldn’t have done it, without the App. I would recommend to anyone looking at doing their bike licence.

For the price, its very much worth it
I loved this app for when I was taking my theory test - for the price it costs it is 100% worth it as there is so much content and honestly made me go from consistently failing the mock exams to passing.
On a phone the hazard perception can be a little dodgy with small things in the distance (like lights), but otherwise is solid.
It has an endless coaching mode which runs you through questions until you get them correct twice in a row, so you can make sure to get all the questions rather than just the same ones from the mock exam.

Really good app
The app is a great practice tool it works well and looks good. There are not thousands of annoying adverts and it’s all rather slick.
As with many of the negative reviews I had the issue with the hazard perception video. They seem to take a while to download so I closed the app and did something else... this is where it goes wrong.
Contacted support who responded within hours and rectified the problem.
Listed below...
Please try the following:
1) Delete the App and reinstall from iTunes. You won’t be charged again, providing you’re logged into the same iTunes account.
2) Go to the Practice section and click on any of the locked topics
3) On the payment screen that follows, click on “Restore purchases”
4) The questions and videos should then begin downloading. Please stay connected to WIFI and within the app as the iPhone will kill the download if you leave.
Would have been 5* if it wasn’t for this. Feels like it could be avoided by having a simple popup saying “don’t close the app during download”.
It’s disappointing to have a really good free trial and then for it to stop working the moment you have paid for it.
Apart from that it’s a really good app. Confident it will help me pass my theory.
